I think some of the "toy" money is heading towards the ZL1 and GT500, where you can get terrific bang for the buck and performance that is approaching supercar territory.  Hard to argue with 650 factory horsepower with full warranty & designed to live 150,000 miles.

Also doesn't say if it was numbers matching, had a fender tag, broadcast sheet, etc.

Yup the bottom has fallen out of the E-Body market. Personally, this is awesome! The market for e-bodies was too high anyway imo, and at least now prices are in line with "where they should be"..

I think high prices are bad for the hobby, bad for joe six pack who wants to buy a car to work on and actually drive! I think low prices are the best thing to happen in a long time.

I found an aar cuda for 39K last year,  that was ready to drive!

Let's face it, e-bodies are the best looking cars from their generation (perhaps of all time with respect to muscle/pony cars).

I hope prices for e-bodies go lower. I will buy another soon. :)

Remember this one from last year, granted this is a historical car

Then this one for 66K yesterday

I'm thinking its now cheaper to try to buy one of these than to try to make/restore one
yourself?
